Investigators: Camden shooting of five in Lumina likely not random

CAMDEN — Investigators are narrowing down a gunman’s possible motive for shooting five people - and killing two - inside a parked car Saturday night, Camden County Prosecutor Warren W. Faulk announced Monday.

A partially-masked male reportedly approached the Chevrolet Lumina in which the five victims sat and fired repeatedly into the car.

Khalil Gibson, 20, of Camden and 18-year-old Jewel Manire were killed, and three others were wounded.

Authorities haven’t identified the killer, but Camden police and investigators with the Prosecutor’s Office say they don’t think the shooting was a random act. They added that evidence suggests the attacker knew at least one of the victims, and that drugs do not appear to have played a role.

“Investigators continue to pursue leads in connection with this case,” said a statement released by the Prosecutor’s Office.

“As always, the public’s assistance is critical to making an arrest, and anyone with information on this person’s identity is urged to contact Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Investigator John Hunsinger at 856-365-3239 or Camden Police Detective Shawn Donlon at 856-757-7420.”
